Split a Memo field

Hi everyone,

I currently have an Access database that includes quite a few
long memo fields. When I create a report of my data, Access
does not allow the memo fields to be split with the page breaks.
In other words, if my memo field is 3 paragraphs long and there
is only space on a report page for 2 paragraphs, rather than
putting 2 paragraphs on one page and the last one on the next
page, all 3 paragraphs are moved to the next page (which creates
a lot of wasted white space on the first page!). I assume
Access does this because it sees the entire memo field as a
'cell' that cannot be split up.

Does anyone have any idea how I can enable Access to split my
memo fields to conform with page lengths? Would using the Split function work in this case?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi,

Did you ever figure out how to solve your problem?

I've got the same issue with a table linked to an Outlook email folder. The body of the email is in a single memo field that i'd like to split.


Thanks

Adrian
